Hi everyone,

I'm 27 years old and currently working in India as a Quality Engineer and CMM Programmer (ZEISS CALYPSO). I have experience in aerospace manufacturing, GD&T, inspection, CMM programming, and quality documentation.

Right now I'm earning around ₹35,000/month. I'm also pursuing my B.Tech through distance/part-time, and it will take about 3 more years to complete.

My long-term goal is to work abroad (Europe, Canada, Australia, Middle East, or anywhere with good opportunities).

I have a few questions:

- Is it possible to get an overseas job before completing my B.Tech, or should I wait until I graduate?

- Which countries have good demand for Quality Engineers/CMM Programmers?

- What additional certifications or courses would make my profile stronger? (AS9100, ISO 9001 Lead Auditor, Six Sigma, NDT, etc.)

- Should I focus more on improving my CMM programming skills or move towards Quality Engineering/Quality Management?

- How many years of experience do companies usually expect before sponsoring a work visa?

- What's the best way to apply—LinkedIn, recruitment agencies, company career pages, or another route?

- Is there anything else I should start doing now to improve my chances over the next 3 years?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully moved abroad in a similar role or works in manufacturing/quality engineering overseas.

Thanks in advance!
